Ok, I see. So there's no "common" method to do this, right? It may differ from module to module... Initially I thought that's a really simple task... And now it doesn't seem to be like that, especially for those who use multiple custom kernel modules... Ok, thanks a lot! I'll try it first, while starting to read about DKMS... Anyway, I'm curious to do it the right way. -- Best regards, Andrew -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
